Double posting for length --
http://forums.mangas...html#msg1174391This shows that the only reason why Sakura and Naruto got caught together is because she and him were having a quiet night after they defeated the Akatsuki and Tobi suddenly appears in front of them and use his genjutso on them.
It seems that Sakura mother made a comment about Naruto and Sakura later went to comfort him, or Sakura mother was saying how proud Sakura makes her and Naruto start feeling lonely, later Sakura try to comfort him.
I don't know what happen but the fact is that Naruto and Sakura were alone in the park.
I don't think that Sakura's mother said anything disparaging about Naruto (I think Sakura would look more angry if she did); I think Naruto is just sad seeing everyone else with parents while his aren't there.
But yes for Naruto and Sakura hanging out alone at the end of the day in the park by themselves

In the one screenshot, it looks like they just shot up out of the swings (and picturing Naruto and Sakura sitting on the swings late at night talking makes me melt)
Not sure what it is:

Closeup:

I remember some fans outlining the person sitting next to Naruto in the Hokage mountain as a 'dark haired girl' - and then it turned out to be Sakura.

Where are these high quality screenshots coming from? Is there a better quality version to watch somewhere??
but yea its definitely confirmed that its a bag and not a rose that shes holdingHeh, Sakura has a startled expression and a light embarrassed blush to whatever her mother is saying. Mebuki has a look of knowing amusement on her face.
Heh, I think it would be funny if Sakura had asked her parents if Naruto could join them for supper and Mebuki said something like "But of course our future son-in-law can come over"- thus Sakura's startled and embarrassed expression. Oh, just noticed, Naruto's expression looks a bit startled too...
She does indeed have a light blush on her face -- I'm liking the implications of what Mebuki could be saying

The scene with Naruto, Sakura and Kushina where Kushina is going ballistic at Naruto shows Sakura just standing there stunned. Heh, Kushina's temper looks like it was even hotter than Tsunade's from what we've seen. Tsunade's reaction to Jiraiya's insults when they were kids was a lot more restrained than Kushina to being taunted as "tomato", for example.... heh. And Sakura is way, way more restrained than Tsunade. So yeah Kushina's the queen of Tsundere.

lol yep Kushina does seem to have the hottest temper; it seems like this is first scene that Sakura and Naruto see his parents in the AU world -- what an introduction to get to Naruto's mother

I can't help but think Kushina would approve of Sakura's temper with Naruto when he gets rude or perverted or does something reckless to put himself in danger.
The issue isn't that she blush, but the fact that she got excited because Sasuke did that. I wonder what Kishi's game is here. I gonna guess he's making her act like her part 1 self to later make her realize how stupid and immature of her was to take that attitude again. This simply goes to show that her feelings for Sasuke have always just been superficial.
I think its going to be quite similar to when Inari complimented Sakura and she blushed, as ciardha pointed out before. Sasuke is an attractive guy, being all romantic with her -- he was also a childhood crush so its no surprise that she'll blush and be flattered. I fully of the belief that Sakura will either get annoyed/freaked out by this Sasuke's persistence as the movie goes on, or she'll get angry with him when his purpose to distract her from looking for a way out from the genjutsu/helping Naruto comes to head.

It's gonna be interesting to see AU Hinata tell Sakura that she doesn't have any business being around Naruto, that probably will make Sakura reflect on herself.
I think Sakura will get angry with Hinata, but confronting her about her relationship with Naruto will be very interesting to see indeed.

Ino and Sakura are so cute~ It's like they've reversed roles from when they were kids in the real world. Sakura is now the one that protects Ino. c:
that is so friggin adorable!!

I love their reversed roles here!! I hope there's some focus on their relationship too -- this could possibly be a tie in to Road to Sakura, which seems to focus a lot on Ino and Sakura's relationship.
Are you sure it's a book? I'm really not sure. It kinds looks like some weird bag.
Definitely looks like a bag.

Also, Sakura will definitely get a reality check by seeing Sasuke pay attention to other girls. It will make her realize that her feelings for Sasuke are pretty childish since it makes her look no better than those girls that surround him. And with Hinata down her throat about Naruto it will probably make her remember that her bond with Naruto is way more important than her childish crush on Sasuke.
This sounds more than plausible.
Really? I thought this would be when the boys rush into the women's change room and, out of fear and shyness, Ino cowers behind Sakura.
I think it may have something to do with Ero Neji trying to peep perhaps. Ino definitely seems like she's pulling Sakura to her in order to hide behind her. The fact that Sakura is clutching her robe closed seems to support that there are some boys involved (I don't think Sakura would clutch her shirt that way if it was Hinata).
I would like to see Sakura punch Sasuke REALLY, REALLY HARD.
I'm actually somewhat expecting this, though I don't think it will be because she sees him flirting with other girls, but rather because he's going to try and stop her from looking for a way out of the genjutsu and/or helping Naruto (i.e. Sakura tries to leave, Sasuke is all "where are you going? You don't need to worry about finding a way out -- aren't you happy here with me? You don't need Naruto -- he's fine with his parents and Hinata." and then Sakura is all "I'm leaving and you can't stop me").
Sakura's blushing doesn't surprise me at all. Afterall, this AU Sasuke is pretty much the incarnation of all her childhood fantasies. Still, like others have already pointed out, I believe that she will eventually come to realize that her love for is just that...a fantasy. A fantasy that does nothing but bring out her worst qualities and hold her back as a person.
Exactly -- this version of Sasuke pretty much represents everything younger Sakura thought was romantic; I don't think it will take her long to realize that its not all its cracked up to be, and that a fantasy isn't what she wants or needs in the end.
